About Abbeycroft

Abbeycroft is a care home in Redditch, providing residential care for adults with learning disabilities, autistic adults, people living with mental ill health and adults with physical disabilities. We also offer respite stays for people who need somewhere for a short period, and for families who need a break. We try to run the house the way anyone would run a home. People get up when they want, have a say over meals, keep their own things around them and decide how their room looks. Support is there for the parts that are genuinely difficult, and deliberately absent from the parts that are not, because doing something for someone who could do it themselves is not kindness. Getting out matters. Redditch has plenty going on and a good many of the people here have interests, jobs, classes and friends beyond these walls. Keeping those connections going is part of the work, not an extra. We take our time over new arrivals. Visits first, a proper handover from whoever knows the person best, and no pressure to decide quickly. Moves that are rushed tend to unravel, and the person pays for it. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are looking at options in Worcestershire, come and see the house and meet the people who live in it. We are happy to answer anything.
